Grilled pork loin with ribs and marinated relish topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 center cut of pork loin on ribs weighing 2.7 kg (do not trim the ends of the bones)
- 1.5 cups of julienned carrots
- 1.5 cups celery root, cut into strips
- 3/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 jalapeño pepper, cut in half lengthwise
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 sprig of fresh dill
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 4 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 small head of white cabbage (about 1 kg), shredded
- 1 cup of hard cider
- 1 teaspoon grainy mustard
Preparation:
- Start cooking the pork the night before: salt it generously, cover it and refrigerate it overnight.
- The vegetables should also be marinated the night before: Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and celery root and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain and run cold water over the vegetables.
- In a saucepan, bring the vinegar, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaf, dill, sugar, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 3/4 cup of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the carrots and celery root. Let cool, then transfer the vegetables and marinade to a container and refrigerate overnight.
- Prepare the cabbage the next day..
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and cider and simmer, stirring, until the cabbage is crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Drain the marinated carrots and celery; discard the garlic, peppercorns, bay leaf, and dill. Stir the marinated vegetables into the cabbage and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the mustard, and season with salt. Let cool.
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to high heat and heat the grate (on a charcoal grill, gather all the coals to one side of the grill; on a gas grill, turn on the burners on one side only).
- Rub the pork with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill over direct heat, turning to brown on all sides, for about 15 minutes. Move to the cooler side of the grill, cover, and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 145°F (63°C), 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes, then cut into individual cutlets and serve with cabbage.
